Ignore "parts" commands when parts is not in the package options

[Emiliano Heyns]

Is it possible to ignore \part and \ctparttext when the parts option isn't loaded? I've tried

\providecommand{\part}[1]{}
\providecommand{\ctparttext}[1]{}

using something like this using \@ifpackagewith{<name>}{<option-list>}{<true>}{<false>} but I haven't been able to get it to work.

Sorry, I don't get the problem here. Usually, if you don't use any \part in your document, you remove the option part when loading classicthesis. (Yet another dirty workaround to get the spacing between "Table of Contents" and the first item right.)

I've removed them now, but I just took the unchanged classicthesis and removed the parts option; the \part and \ctparttext calls are still in there at that point. I figured it could be interesting to have those be noops when parts is not in the options.

If "parts' option is false, then these won't be touched by classicthesis.sty: check the code that's within the first block of \ifthenelse{\boolean{@parts}} there. If you're using a document class that still has the \part command defined, you'll get its own definition for the command. I'd say this is an invalid request.

Closed due to invalid report.
